I did not want it to end !!

Overall I truly loved the program. I felt super comfortable and I give all of the credit to Expanish. From the moment I arrived at school until I left I really felt that they only had the best intentions for me.

I had a great time with Expanish!

I would definitely visit Buenos Aires again with the organization! Our guide, Jio, was an amazing guide and an overall amazing person. I would recommend this to anyone who may be nervous to study abroad, Expanish make it simple and easy!

Response from provider

An enjoyable experience

I enjoyed my time at Expanish and will consider going there again. My classes were always overpacked with 12 students for the 5 weeks I attended in January/February, so I would choose less busy dates the next time.

Response from provider

¡Hola, Rodrigo! Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're really glad to hear that you enjoyed your time at Expanish and that you would consider coming back. We appreciate your feedback regarding the class size. January and February are indeed some of our busiest months, but we understand how important it is to have a comfortable learning environment. We’ll be sure to pass your comments along to our Academic team. We’d love to welcome you again—hopefully during a quieter period so you can enjoy an even better experience. Hope we get to welcome you again in the future. ¡Un abrazo!

Fares MasannatUnited States · March 2026

Great school

I had a great experience learning Spanish for 3 weeks and felt my Spanish was improving. Things that can improve : 1- Program was very relaxed , so I felt we wasted a lot of time during breaks. The 20-minute breaks easily extend into 30 and 40 minutes. We rarely started exactly at 9.30. 2- no exams or self assessment. 3- some time wasted during class looking at things online.

Response from provider

¡Hola, Fares! Thank you very much for your thoughtful feedback. We’re really happy to hear that you had a great experience overall and that you felt your Spanish improving during your three weeks with us—that’s exactly what we aim for. We also truly appreciate your suggestions for improvement. We will take your comments into account, especially regarding punctuality and making sure classes start on time, as well as ensuring that breaks last only the scheduled duration. While breaks are important to help students stay focused, we agree that they should be properly managed. Regarding assessments, we do have level exams in place. These are typically taken at the end of each level (usually every 4 weeks, after completing a book). As your stay was shorter, it’s likely you didn’t reach that stage, which is why you may not have experienced an exam. We also appreciate your note about time spent on online materials in class, and we’ll continue working with our academic team to ensure class time is used as effectively as possible. Thanks again for sharing your experience—it really helps us improve. Hope we get to welcome you again in the future! ¡Un abrazo!

3 weeks in Argentina isn't enough

I took a trip with San Diego Mesa College to study abroad Argentina learning Spanish and it was quite the experience. Not only did we get immersed in the culture, but we had got immersed in the language and learned more about the community and city of Buenos Aires. It was able to expose me to different cultures, different settings, and different languages to help understand people from different countries and how to be available to share with them. My experience but also listen. Buenos Aires we'll always have piece of my heart

¡Fantastico!

Asistí Expanish durante cuatro semanas y tuve dos diferentes profesores. Ambos fueron excelentes. Mi español mejoraba cada día. Mucho. Sus métodos son excelentes para escuchar y hablar. Con la gramática volviéndose natural. Gabriel revisaba regularmente para asegurarse de que todo estaba bien. Las actividades y eventos son geniales para conocer a otros estudiantes y aprender sobre la ciudad. Lo recomiendo mucho.

Response from provider

¡Hola, Deb! ¡Muchísimas gracias por tu comentario tan bonito! Nos alegra enormemente saber que tu experiencia durante esas cuatro semanas fue tan positiva y que pudiste notar cómo tu español mejoraba cada día — ¡eso es lo que más nos motiva! Qué bueno saber que disfrutaste de tus dos profesores y de sus métodos, especialmente para desarrollar la escucha y la expresión oral hasta que la gramática se volviera algo más natural. Ese es exactamente nuestro objetivo :) También nos encanta saber que te gustaron las actividades y eventos, y que te ayudaron a conocer a otros estudiantes y descubrir la ciudad. Y gracias por mencionar a Gabriel — siempre está atento para asegurarse de que todo marche bien. Gracias de corazón por recomendarnos. ¡Esperamos poder darte la bienvenida otra vez en el futuro para seguir avanzando con tu español! Un abrazo.

Exspanish is a win.

Exspanish is located in a great part of town in an authentic building that is well furnished and air conditioned. The administrative staff is friendly, efficient and organized. All three instructors that I had during my time there were well prepared, energetic highly skilled and patient. The school shares a warm sense of community and it is an easy place to make friends. The garden is a beautiful place to hang out between classes and the school sponsored activities provide a great environment for getting to know classmates. A special shout out to Sandra and her Charlamos and Chocotorta activities!!

Excellent

I absolutely loved my experience at Expanish. From arrival through departure o was met with a kind supportive community. My teacher was patient and pushed us to learn and practice our skills. I love how it is immersive, there are local activities to do in the community every week, and I got a lot out of it. I highly recommend.

Response from provider

Suzanne WatkinsUnited Kingdom · February 2026

A short, sharp session of Spanish to prepare for a holiday in South America.

Unfortunately, our week included a public holiday so we only had four days to study in, not five. However, it was a good thign to have done as it helped us greatly when there were no English speakers in the hotels and tourist information centres.

Response from provider

Thank you for sharing your experience, Suzanne! While it’s true that the public holiday meant a shorter study week, we’re really glad to hear that the course still proved helpful—especially when navigating hotels and tourist information centers without English speakers. That’s exactly the kind of real-life confidence we hope students gain from their classes. Hope we get to welcome you again in the future! ¡Un fuerte abrazo!

Helen VassarUnited Kingdom · January 2026

Great 2 weeks with Expanish in Buenos Aires

I did 2 weeks of lessons with Expanish over the Christmas and New Year - the schedule was slightly reduced (no classes on Xmas or New years day) ,but we were compensated with additional hours of lessons on the Monday afternoon. The home stay option was good and well-located for a short metro ride to school, however there was no air-conditioning in my room. The additional activities provided were great; however, the offering was limited due to the Christmas period.

Response from provider

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us, Helen! We’re really happy to hear you had a great two weeks at Expanish Buenos Aires and that you enjoyed your lessons, the homestay location, and the additional activities we were able to offer during the holiday period. We appreciate your understanding regarding the adjusted schedule over Christmas and New Year, and we’re glad the extra lesson hours helped balance things out. Thank you as well for your honest feedback about the homestay — we’ll certainly keep it in mind as we continue working with our accommodation providers. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope we get to welcome you back again in the future! ¡Un fuerte abrazo!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Expanish Buenos Aires – An Outstanding Language School Experience Expanish in Buenos Aires is simply exceptional.

From the moment you walk through the door, you feel the school’s unique blend of professionalism, warmth, and genuine passion for helping students learn Spanish. The atmosphere is welcoming, international, and energetic, the kind of place where you instantly feel part of a community rather than just another student. The teachers are outstanding. They combine deep linguistic knowledge with an engaging, modern teaching style that keeps every class dynamic and fun. Lessons are structured and academically solid, yet always practical, with a strong focus on real-life communication. They explain grammar clearly, introduce useful vocabulary, and create plenty of opportunities for speaking, even if you’re a bit shy at first. The school itself is bright, modern, and perfectly located. Classrooms are comfortable, the staff is incredibly friendly, and everything runs smoothly and efficiently. The daily cultural activities are a huge bonus: walking tours, mate tastings, tango nights, and local experiences that make you feel connected to the city from day one. It’s the perfect balance between learning and immersion. What really sets Expanish apart is how personal the experience feels. The team truly cares about your progress, your comfort, and your overall time in Buenos Aires. They check in with you, offer recommendations, and help you make the most of your stay. It’s this human touch that turns language learning into something inspiring and memorable. If you’re looking for the best place to study Spanish in Buenos Aires where you’ll improve quickly, meet great people, and genuinely enjoy every day, Expanish is unbeatable. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

The instructors are great, the materials are top-notch, and the extracurricular activities are superb, offering you a chance to practice more of your Spanish, meet other students, and learn more about Argentina culture and the city of Buenos Aires.
